Spengo quickly finds that his advances towards Marge are failing, so he tries to read Dicks mind in order to discover the secret to her heart. Following Dicks mindprobing, one of the Destroyers, Sibor Wallace Shawn, has a change of heart when asked to execute the Earthman. Encouraging Dick to not lose his woman and their love, the diminutive Destroyer frees Dick and helps him break out of the chamber. Despite the stupidity of his captors, Dick is soon discovered and forced down a garbage chute to the sewers. While in the dark, inundated tunnel, he is approached by a cutelooking mushroomlike creature, a LubLub. Dick attempts to pet the creature, but it immediately reveals its true carnivorous nature, forcing him to run for his life.Dick manages to escape the sewers and steal an escape pod, and winds up crashing miles away in the desert, where he meets the rightful kings son, Sirk Dwier Brown, and daughter, Semage Kathy Ireland, as well as their followers. All of them are dressed as 6foottall birds, although such creatures are not naturally found on Spengo, and the only weapons they have to fight the Emperor and the Destroyers are rocks, their intelligence and a number of stolen weapons, including Light Grenades, which completely disintegrate anyone who picks one up. At first, the rebels dont trust Dick and begin to torture him. When Dick reveals that he shared a cell with Raff and that he is on their side, their attitude quickly changes, and Dick rises to the rank of war leader. Using what little resources he can scrounge up, he devises a plan to sneak back into Spengos palace and save Marge. He even inspires Raffs followers with a rousing speech, during which he says, Just because youre stupid that doesnt mean you cant rule a planet. Hey Come to Earth sometime. ........
